Future Electronics, a global leading distributor of electronic components, is featuring ON Semiconductor's NCV7683 current regulator in this month's edition of the Transportation newsletter.

The ON Semiconductor NCV7683 is designed for use in the regulation and control of LED based Rear Combination Lamps and blinking functions for automotive applications. It is equipped with eight linear programmable constant current sources. System design with the NCV7683 allows for two programmed levels for stop (100% Duty Cycle) and tail illumination (programmable Duty Cycle), or an optional external PWM control can be implemented.

In addition, LED brightness levels are easily programmed with two external resistors. The use of an optional external ballast FET allows for power distribution on designs requiring high currents. Set back power limit reduces the drive current during overvoltage conditions. This is most useful for low power applications when no external FET is used.

Features of the NCV7683 include, but are not limited to, constant current outputs, resistors, overvoltage limitation, improved LEC performance, display sequencing.

Stay on top of all the newest trends in transportation technology thanks to our Transportation newsletters. Geared toward engineers and buyers looking for new or leading-edge products, each edition is packed with product information, datasheets or videos showcasing the most advanced new technology.
